Automatic Planning for fast and robust Flow Territory Mapping

Super-Selective
Pseudo-continuous Arterial Spin Labeling (pCASL) requires the labeling focus to be optimized to each artery of interest
individually. This might be time-consuming especially for inexperienced users,
and suboptimal results are possible as the labeling efficiency depends on the
location of the labeling spot, as well as its angulation, which should be
perpendicular to the artery. This study demonstrates an automatic planning
approach for Super-Selective pCASL measurements in the major brain feeding
vessels and subsequently compares the results to images acquired using a manual
positioning of the labeling spot.
